Consider the standard one-dimensional Harmonic oscillator centered about x = 0. Draw the potential energy as a function of x. On top of the potential function, draw horizontal lines corresponding to the ground and first two excited quantum mechanical state energies of this system. Label the lines with their respective "v labels". Finally, using your energy state lines as individual axis, draw the wave functions for the ground and first two excited states. 11. (
